Time For Me

I'm doing the very best I can
All I can really do
Is to just do me
Stand tall, stand proud.
Be at peace with me.

I needed to talk to you today.
I got fed up with the state of the world
And the way things won't change,
But change too quickly at the same time.
I closed my eyes and you were gone.

I tried to write a book
To tell the world what I have learned
But instead of cohesive stories
All that came out was incoherent prose
These poems that make no sense and weigh heavy on the heart

I worry way too much
The sky is falling
And chicken little's at the door.
But even chickens sleep.

When the calm has come,
I can find my peace.
Is this me loving myself?
The very best I can do
Is to just do me.
